Aroma of roasted malt and molasses. Taste is very identical,maybe some notes of coffee and chocolate. A classic porter that delivers everything I expect from an above average porter. There is some mild sweetness which is balanced with just a touch of bitterness like yu would get from very dark chocolate

A- Solid looking brownish coloration with slight clarity and reddish hues against white surfaces! The head is caramel colored and very creamy looking, starting out around a finger in thickness and settles down to a velvet layer over the brew. Of course with this style it is hard to see how the carbonation appears to be and the lacing is modest, with several small foamy patches sliding back into the brew!

S- This one is interesting, as there is a malt sweetness that is toffee/molasses like in aroma, with the more traditional coffee and dark chocolate bitterness throughout. Caramelized brown sugar, vanilla subtleties, rummy raisin character and a dry/Earthy with coffee grind robustness!

T- Malt and fruit dominate the palate, with natural vanilla bean pod, chocolate/cocoa, and Guatemalan coffee fruitiness throughout! There is a heavy yeast/cream biscuit that seems very English of Sam Smith and I get a dry grain character, heavily roasted chocolate and black malts that bring out a very dry astringency and the finish seems clean yet it lingers on the palate.

M/O- Super creamy mouthfeel and gentle frothy carbonation provide a highly drinkable porter that overall is probably one of the prototypes for all brewers to go by! I don't know if this is my favorite, but it is a very nice drinking Ale!! Definitely right up there with the best of this style!

The appearance pours pitch black and leaves the same colored body with a one finger white foamy head that dies within about twenty seconds. Light somewhat clingy foamy lacing tries to cling and does but is kind of all over the place. The smell is roasty through some coffee and chocolate notes. There is some light malts that come in as it warms, and I even get some light vanilla (intentional or not, I don’t know, but I like it). The taste is mainly sweet and roasty through the coffee and chocolate, and gives off a dark creamy sticky roasty aftertaste with a dry sticky finish. On the palate, she sits about a medium to heavy on the mouth and tongue, sessionable - hmmm... maybe, but perhaps not as much as some other porters on the market. Carbonation is extremely smooth and ends up giving off a nice creamy aspect coating the rest of the mouth and tongue eloquently. Overall, this is a very nice English Porter that I would have again and another beer by Samuel Smith that I would still love to have next to some fish and chips.

Pours a dark brown and allows some light through. Almost no head. Smells of roasted malts along with light chocolate and light coffee. The taste is similar with a little sweetness. Light mouthfeel with light carbonation. Overall a pretty good porter, just not deserving of the incredible praise that it gets.
